Winter Carnival

February 5 and 6, 12pm-10pm

Bundle up and come on out for the 2nd annual Winter Carnival at Bank of America Winter Village! Embrace the frosty weather and join us for a celebration of the winter season. This jam-packed weekend will feature dancing, curling lessons, live skating and musical performances, photo ops, and more!

We're putting a wintery twist on a summer park classic. Step on up and try your hand at mini-golf -- on ice!

If you make a hole-in-one, you win a FastPass for VIP admission to the Rink!

Line will form on eastern edge of ice rink. Skates not permitted - shoes only. One hole-in-one attempt per person per day. Do not go through the Skating Pavilion to access this activity. Open Skating will be available on the rest of the Rink as usual.

Need to warm up from the chill outdoors? Step inside the cozy, heated Lodge!

Take a free photo with the incredible Icy Illusion Photo Op, and bring it home in a souvenir magnetic frame. As an added bonus, Bank of America cardholders can show their card for a complimentary hot cocoa.

Sweep sweep sweep! We'll have professional instructors and equipment on hand to teach you how to play this classic oddball winter sport.

Join us for our 2nd Annual Winter Carnival Silent Disco! This free outdoor dance party will have you shaking off the winter chill while onlookers wonder what the heck you're doing...because the music can only be heard through headphones!

We'll provide the headphones and have 3 DJs spinning 3 different genres live: Top 40/EDM, 80s and 90s hits, and Motown/Oldies. Switch between channels as often as you like! Your headphones will glow to show everyone what you're listening to.

The dance party (as well as headphone pick-up and drop-off) will be located on the Fountain Terrace, but there are no boundaries – feel free to roam the rest of Winter Carnival! Get a drink at the Brew House or warm up in the Warming Lodge while grooving with your headphones.

More Info No preregistration or tickets required. Event entry open from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. To check out headphones, you must swipe a credit card or debit card. If you fail to return your headphones by 10:00pm on 2/6/2016, your card will be charged $100. Bundle up and dress for the weather - we will be outside! No bag/coat check available.

Tamsin Wilson makes intimate folk music. Lead songwriter and vocalist for the almost-eponymous Brooklyn band Wilsen, Tamsin is inspired by Nick Drake, whom she calls “the ultimate writer”. Listening to her music, it’s easy to tell: lyrics are wistful; her voice is by trades quiet and quietly forceful. She has performed in support of legendary singer songwriter Rodriguez and indie darlings Daughter.
